Not everyone survives heartbreak the same way.
Some drown in what could've been. Some move forward like nothing ever happened. And some take the damage and turn it into fuel-whether it saves them or destroys them in the process.
In the aftermath of a war that left scars no one knows how to talk about, two lives begin to spiral in different directions. One clings to what's left of his friends, his identity, and the version of himself he used to understand. The other moves through the wreckage in search of purpose, power, and something that feels like control.
Heartbreak, survival, and quiet conspiracy bleed together in the aftermath of hero society's breaking point
And somehow, it's still just high school.
Or Denki becomes the new problem child for the second year of UA
Content warning: themes of trauma, injury, post-war psychological struggles, cursing and violence

Dear Denki (Kirikami)
Denki Kaminari is a hopeless romantic, emphasis on hopeless. As Valentine's Day rolls around, Kaminari is once again reminded how he has still yet to find the love he's been desperately craving. Wanting to cheer his best friend up, Eijiro Kirishima decides to send Kaminari love letters, from anonymous of course. It seems to work. Kaminari is overjoyed there's someone out there who has feelings for him, and Kirishima is glad to see his friend smiling again. But Kirishima soon runs into two problems. One, Kaminari is determined to discover the identity of his secret admirer no matter what. And two, that maybe, just maybe, there's a hidden truth about how he really feels about his friend in those letters he's been writing. Original Kirishima artwork is by @aizo813 on Twitter (seems the artist changed their handle and I can't find the new one but that's what it used to be) I also do not own My Hero Academia or any of the charactersComplete
